Chapter 6 – Residential Cooling/Heating • This chapter covers the calculations for design cooling and heating loads for residential buildings. • Calculate of the heat loss and heat gain to estimate the capacity of the heating and cooling components to maintain comfort. • Based on extremes – peak loads conditions – Chapter 29 of ASHRAE Fundamentals • Residences and small commercial buildings – dominated by the external envelope (walls, roof, windows, and doors) • Large commercial building often dominated by internal gains (occupants, lights, equipment, and appliances) • All buildings need to consider energy required to heat/cool and humidify/de-humidify due to infiltration (either intentional or leakage) • Methods for commercial not applicable to residential – temperature swings • Same methods as non-residential (Chapter 7) – with care
Chapter 6 – Residential Cooling/Heating • This chapter covers the calculations for design cooling and heating loads for residential buildings. • Residential buildings distinquished by: • Smaller internal gains – dominated by structural gains/losses and infiltration • Varied Use of Spaces – localized conditions tolerated • Fewer Zones – usually single zone – single thermostat – swings – moderating the peak load due to heat storage within building • Greater Distribution Losses - duct losses/gains significant • Partial Loads – systems are small (1 to 5 tons) – at capacity only rarely leading to running at partial capacity – oversized detrimental to good seasonal performance • Dehumidification Issues – only during cooling season – thermostat controlled by sensible heating – short-cycling – degraded dehumidification • Categories • Single family detached – four walls, single thermostat, open – centralized air return • Multi-family – less exposure – not same load leveling • Other – dependent on east-west fenestration
Chapter 6 – Residential Cooling/Heating • Residential characteristics can lead to complex load calculations • Hour-by-hour methodology required to find peak • Different methods for heating and cooling due to simplification for heating • Heating uses worst case – no solar or internal gains and no storage – reduces to UADt calculations • Cooling methods revised due to computation speed availability – 24 hour, equation-based procedures • Cooling method based on Residential Load Factor (RLF) methodology – a simplified procedure derived from a detailed residential heat balance (RHB) analysis of buildings across the range of climates – applicable to spreadsheet • RLF Limitations given in Table 6-1 • Latitude – 20 to 60 degrees North • Date – summer peaking (July 21) • Elevation – below 6,500 ft • Climate – Warm/hot • Construction – Lightweight residential • Fenestration area/tilt – 0 to 30% total floor area • Occupancy - residential • Temperature swings and Distribution losses
Chapter 6 – Residential Cooling/Heating • RLF Limitations (Table 6-1)
Chapter 6 – Residential Cooling/Heating • General Guidelines. • Following guidelines apply for both heating and cooling. • Design for typical building use – meet maximum load conditions – not extreme conditions (parties, etc.) • Building code and standards – local codes take precedence • Designer judgment – prior projects, local building practices • Verification – post construction – pressure testing • Uncertainty and safety allowances – safety allowances should be added at the end to avoid compounding effect.
